Re: U3A Course R09 (What the Bible is about) Term 2, 2022 Enrolments
Hi Merlene,
Thanks for your kind words.
You raise an interesting point about what the Bible says about the specific time we are living in.? I have always been comfortable understanding what the Bible says about the "times" we are living in, but I've never thought much about anything that it has to say about the "time" we are currently in.? I'm usually put off by the focus on the event for which no one knows the date and time but the Father.? In a real sense, we are living in two "times" that the Bible speaks to: ? (1) our day-to-day existence in an imperfect world now awaiting an election between two incompetent political parties with a pre-ordained outcome if Labor wins that is different from the preordained outcome if the Coalition does.? Everybody intuitively knows what will happen if one side or the other wins, but few care enough to think or talk about it; consequently the parties take turns winning and losing.? Labor runs up the national debt, the Coalition (usually) works it off, rinse, repeat.? And of course "political correctness," sigh.? The Bible is full of little interludes like this (good leader, bad leader); it seems to be the human condition.
(2) Internationally, the world is recasting itself into a tyrannical global elitist dictatorship on the one side and a tyrannical Communist hegemonic dictatorship on the other side. Interestingly, Russia is caught in the middle.? The concept of "democracy" will be largely forgotten within a few years. The resultant two sides will face off until something happens and there is a one world government (which the Bible predicts), years of chaos happen, and Jesus comes again.? Hooray!
Based on what you said, Merlene, it may be interesting to do a Biblical study on today.? I'll take that under advisement.
Thanks also for your comments on dates and times and formats.? Understood.
Blessings,
Ray

Hi Ray,

Like Peter, I am saddened to hear that your Thursday Bible classes will be
cancelled for Term 2 due to lack of enrolments. I find that so difficult to
comprehend in these difficult times, when we need them more than ever. What does
the Bible say about what is happening now? I’m sure there are many passages that
could give us guidelines. Unfortunately I am not well versed nor knowledgeable
in the scriptures to find the answers.
?
Re different times or days. Thursdays at 10:45 was an ideal time and day
for me. Wednesdays are completely out due to other U3A classes; Mondays and
Fridays are days I mostly migrate to and from the Gold Coast, so mornings would
definitely be out – maybe Monday afternoons, but not always possible. I do not
intend to attend face-2-face classes in the foreseeable future, especially now
that Masks are not mandatory. We need masks more than ever with Covid cases
rising, and we are in the most vulnerable group. I’m too scared to venture out
amongst people who don’t consider the health and welfare of older people and
show their disrespect for us in these challenging times. Scary at times.
?
Let’s pray that others in the class remember to re-enrol so that those of
us that are committed to learning more of the Bible are able to do so.
Blessings,
Merlene

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your kind words.?

Per your suggestion, I have emailed everyone
from last term but with just six days to go I felt it important to respect U3A's
procedures.? Despite this being a Zoom class, it falls under their
ambit.? Still, good idea, I'll keep an eye on U3A enrollments.

Over the past few terms, a number of potential
enrollees have indicated that the Thursday date was the deal-breaker for

perspective?

2, 2022 Enrolments
Good day all,
Less than a week away from
commencing our Term 2 classes for U3A course R09 What the Bible is About - An
Informed Appreciation of the Bible, enrolment is below the minimum required
to hold the course.? This has unfortunately happened to many of the U3A
courses.
As a result, I am saddened to
announce that the course will not be held for Term 2, which commences next
week.
At present, I intend to resume
classes in Term 3 2022 which runs from 11 July to 16 September, possibly
resuming face-to-face (F2F) classes or in a mixed F2F/Zoom mode.? With your
permission, I'll keep your email addresses so that I can keep you informed at
that time.
Since 2017, we have covered 52
of the 66 books of the Bible.? That's nearly 80%, and I have materials
drafted or prepared for most of the remainder.? Please email me with any
suggestions that might support the revival of R09.? I'm especially
interested in any ideas on repackaging or marketing the course to help attract
new enrollees and revive the interest that you and so many others have shown
over the past five years.
Thank you for your interest in
R09.? It's been a real blessing to me.

Another enlightening session today. Although you experienced a little
computer glitch, it didn’t detract from the message.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend next Thursday’s Bible class.
Early tomorrow morning I leave for 2 precious weeks catching up with family in
Adelaide, whom I haven’t seen for over 2 & half years!!

Hi Christine,
In another time and another place that would be a beautiful photograph.? I'm glad that you're safe.
Thanks for your good wishes.? While Sienna's knee is technically broken, it seems that it is closer to dislocation with the key parts intact.? That's great news.? My knee still has some residual shrapnel from many years ago in it (they weren't as comfortable with microsurgery back then) and it was years before I could sit for more than an hour without my leg seizing up.? I am so pleased that Sienna's prognosis is for full recovery after the cast is removed.? Kids are resilient.
I look forward to next week.
Blessings,
Ray

Hi Ray and fellow R09ers
The photo is of the farm next door before the waters peaked. Happy ducks and drowned hares.?
Merlene, your Rapunzel height views must be stunning. But to access your car via the stairwell would require a lot of effort unless you've mastered the sport of bannister sliding. It's a blessing the power wasn't down. (I filled a thermos in case, remembering 2017 and the distressing reality of no hot coffee.)
Glad you and your family are basically okay,? Ray. At least, the little girl will have a dramatic 'show & tell' when her school resumes.
It's sad that class is postponed but that would be the least of worries for some right now
Keep well Keep safe

Thanks for letting us know you and your family are OK
through these floodings, except for your granddaughter’s knee. I hope the rest
of our class is also safe and not too badly affected.
I had rain egress into my laundry, but by putting thick
thirsty towels on the windowsill it stopped it from running further down the
wall into my laundry cupboard. Never had that before, but its OK now rain has
stopped.
On? another more pressing issue, there are NO LIFTS
running in my building since last Saturday, and STILL NOT working. Effectively
that means that I am totally isolated in my unit as it is twelve floors to reach
the car, ten to ground level. I’ve had to cancel physio appointments and believe
I have sufficient food to last almost another week if the lifts are still out of
order. But that is nothing compared to what others around my area are suffering
– losses of complete power and internet, and some with major flood damage. I
give thanks to God that He is protecting and watching over me in these trying
times.
Take care, and see you next Thursday, the
10th.

Most of you will have received the following
email from U3A President Deslyn Taylor:
?
"In view of
the ongoing flood recovery situation throughout Brisbane, we have decided that
all venues should remain closed for the remainder of this week. There are
still suburbs under water, many closed and damaged roads, and very limited
public transport throughout Brisbane, Logan and surrounding areas. We will aim
to restart classes on Monday 7th March. Hopefully, Brisbane will have returned
to at least some degree of normality by then.? We hope that
none of our members have been badly affected by the weather event and
subsequent flooding."
? In light of this, our 3 March session on "What the Bible is
About" will be postponed for a week to 10 March.? Thank you for your
emails.
?
As an aside, we are grateful that our family
has emerged safely thus far through the flood, although floodwaters came within
a few feet of my son's inner-city home while inundating their next-door neighbor
just down the hill on the same block and my 6-year old granddaughter fell and
damaged her knee.? Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone whom this
weather disaster has affected or will affect.

Blessings,

Hi Merle,
Sorry to hear about your lifts.? Hopefully, they'll be running soon.? I fully understand your predicament and I'm only on the 3rd floor.
Please take care yourself.
Blessings,
Ray
